Organised by BBC Persian

Followed by a Q&A.

In 2010, BBC Persian's Kasra Naji and Rozita Riazati setout to focus attention on the plight of Baha'is in Iran; their goal was to help Iranians understand the Faith and to shed light on the extent of persecution suffered by its members in Iran. On 30 June 2010, the day the BBC Persian documentary Baha'is in Iran was first broadcast, 50 houses owned by Baha'is were demolished in a village northeast of Tehran - driving home the stark reality of the persecution suffered by Iranian Baha'is.
